In addition to holding a vast portfolio of investments across different asset classes, Wexford Capital is also an activist fund specializing in distressed situation investments, due to the background of its co-founders, both of whom have experience in this type of investments. Earlier this year, Wexford acquired a stake in Adeptus Health after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In a filing, the fund said that their view is that the company should have substantial equity value with an appropriate capital structure and suggested the appointment of a special committee to oversee the bankruptcy proceedings and expressed willingness to participate in the appointment. In 2016, Wexford invested in Penn Virginia Corporation (NASDAQ:PVAC), which was also going through bankruptcy and the fund’s Marc McCarthy was appointed to the company’s board of directors following the emergence from bankruptcy.

Mr. Davidson’s fund also likes to dabble in real estate. Earlier this year. a company managed by Wexford sold a 14,000-square-foot mansion in Florida for $28 million. Last year, a partnership between Wexford and Kenco Communities obtained a $20 million loan to start developing a 73-acre project in Lantana, which will contain 275,000 square feet of retail space and over 1,000 apartments. In October, 2016, Wexford Capital, with two other companies sold the Clima Outdoor building in Miami for $13 million.

Among Wexford’s private investments is Shape Memory Medical, which recently completed a round of funding, with Wexford Capital being among the older investors that acquired stock. Two other private companies that Wexford Capital is invested in are Rebound Therapeutics Corporation and Metanor Resources, both of which have also conducted private placements recently.
